The Olmsted 38 takes its namesake from conservationist and founder of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted – an avid believer in the need of natural public space in society. Olmsted is responsible for designing many of the public parks in the United States; notably, Central Park in New York City, and Jackson Park in Chicago. Throughout a fascinating life, Olmsted pushed for the protection of Yosemite Valley, created the parkway, the integrated park system, and founded the precursor to the Red Cross.

The engine powering The Olmsted 38 is the legendary, Swiss-made, ETA 2892A2, a workhorse calibre with 21 jewels, a substantial 42-hour power reserve, and our iconic 4-star rotor design – a subtle nod to our hometown of Chicago.

Great Daily Watch

The Olmsted is a perfect daily watch! The only downside is I stopped my rotation on the other watches because of this watch 😁. The leather strap is just perfect, now it’s aged to dark brown color, when all goes back to normal, Olmsted will be my daily work watch as well. I chose the grey dial, looks amazing with the all brush case finish, but you won’t go wrong with white or blue dial as well!

Perfect everyday wear

This is my second Oak & Oscar watch they just keep getting better and better. The Olmsted is a beautiful timepiece , great details on the face, really lightweight. The price point on this one I think is hard to beat. This will be my daily wear for a long time!
